Climate change threatens to melt glacier and expose 66 ton AVALANCHE OF POO

Now however, with the ice melting, the hole could essentially melt away, leaving an avalanche of poo.

And the worst part is the ice has kept the faeces preserved, meaning when the ice does melt, it will be as expected.

Michael Loso, a National Park Service glaciologist who’s been studying the problem of climber excrement on the mountain, told USA Today: “The waste will emerge at the surface not very different from when it was buried. It will be smushed and have been frozen and be really we.

“It will be biologically active, so the E. coli that was in the waste when it was buried will be alive and well. We expect it to still smell bad and look bad.
